Silver Sunday No. 4

\

Welcome to Silver Sunday No. 4 can you believe it's 4 already? To start off I just want to let everyone know that McLinky has proved to be most convenient....so, don't panic when you see that the list has dissappeared...just use the McLinky link when you do your post....hey, let's try to get to 100 this week. The more the merrier. Also just a reminder the giveaway is coming up in a few weeks...be sure to have yourself linked on that day...I'll also be giving you an extra chances if you're a follower as well as participant.

Wait until you see how "succulant" the giveaway is......

Well, back to the post.....

My penchant for aluminum is growing by every flea and auction I attend. I just love this stuff...it's so handy and not to mention i-n-e-x-p-e-n-s-i-v-e...my favorite kind of collection. As I wondered the halls of my house camera in hand looking for a few pieces I realized....I have it everywhere! And I use it all the time.

Hi GypsyWell I love all your aluminium. I think I have a soft spot for the stuff too but really don't have anywhere near enough.. will have to suffice with enjoying your pieces. I love the industrial feel to it and the mottled surface. All your pieces are fab. Particularly the trays. I'll have to go on a search for some myself I think.

Well i had thought I had followed you last week but seems I hadn't. Silly me, but I fixed that yesterday.... have a great weekend...xx Julie

I love that you are using your hammered aluminum for everyday use. I try to use all of my 'treasures' including, sterling, china, crystal...I just can't see having something I can't bring myself to use...I know many wouldn't think of using their 'best' for everyday, but I want to enjoy it while I am alive, that is why I bought it!

(Shhhh...let's not tell that right now it's afforable!) Love yours and especially the butter dish. Haven't seen one of those before. I am so loving Silver Sundays. Do you think maybe we can continue it maybe once a month? uh....uh? xoxo Lynn

I love to use the hammered aluminum outside in the summer. It holds up well to cold drinks and humidity. And it has a great cottage-y feel to it. You have some wonderful pieces! Thank you for such a fun party!hugs,Debra

I have been seeing several pieces of the hammered aluminum pieces in the thrifts lately.I've sold some in my booth too. I especially like the trays and if they have handles, the customers love them.I love your finds and keep looking because its becoming a hot new old look again.

You have wonderful pieces of hammered aluminum...my collection is very small. I'm finding my pieces while thifting too. In fact I picked up a sugar and creamer today for $1.00. It's not very ornate like your pieces, but I couldn't pass on such a great deal.

Thanks again for hosting this event, I've so enjoyed seeing everyone's collections. Have you considered extending it into March? {hope so!}

Your aluminum pieces are great! I like the hammered pieces. I recently returned home from visit at my sister's home. She sent me back with one of our mom's aluminum pieces, a basket for fruit. I'll have to share it one Sunday. Thanks for hosting Silver Sundays. It has quickly become another favorite for me. ~ Sarah

Hi Beth, my goodness, you may have to start Silver Sunday on Friday!!!!Oh well, it will be an all day adventure to visit everyone! Your silver butter dish is delightful and I like the tray, the red candle is the perfect foil for the silver candlestick!!!Thanks for hosting another Silver Sunday!!!Hugs,Margaret B

Your aluminum pieces are very pretty! I especially love the butter dish and the bottle holder. I haven't seen many decorative aluminum pieces here in Germany but I will keep my eyes peeled on the next flea market.

Hi Beth! I also love the hammered metal trays although I don't have any. I do have several aluminum items that I hadn't thought about picturing for Silver Sunday before! Your handled tray is especially pretty!

Beth,You have some great hammered aluminum pieces. They have such charm to them. I used to have a number of piece, but with a number of moves I guess I let them go...now seeing yours I am sad...guess I'll have my eyes peeled for some new (vintage) ones. Thanks for such a great party!!Gale

Oh my goodness, I love all this silver Sunday stuff. I put a couple thing on my blog this week, but I am sorry, I haven't had time to figure out all the linky stuff. I love seeing what every one else has.

Oh great...thnaks so much....(dripping with sarcasm here). Now, there are more beautiful things that I will have to collect....I'm going to be headed towards divorce court since it is going to take my whole house for storage and we will have to buy a travel trailer to live in. Love all your pieces.

I never thought of using my aluminum pieces. I have to dig those out for next weekend. My collection is not as nice as yours..... in fact I may have put them in my lawn sale box. I am so retrieving them. Thanks for sharing and hosting.

Thanks again for hosting another Silver Sunday! What I like very much is that I have things on my cupboard that I am going to get now, and appreciate more! Of course I love what everybody shows too, like your butter dish too, that floral piece, I love it. Happy Silver Sunday!

Beth, I saw a lady buying a silver aluminum ice bucket at the thrift store yesterday, it was so pretty and made me think of you. I wish I would have seen it first! That butter dish is CUTE, you dont see many of those around. Thanks for hosting such a great party.Sylvia

So wonderful to see alll of this silver incorporated into you everyday life. It makes each day that much more special and never mind, it looks fabulous as well.Enjoy this terrific Silver Sunday, xOxO Nerina

I love your hammered pieces, Beth. I have quite a few too. It seems they are much more collectable - and costly than they were when I first started collecting. I use mine too, all over the house. I especially love the trays. I love your butter dish - really unique and so cute. Have a wonderful new week.xoxo...Kathy

Yowza!! Where do you find all this great stuff??? I went "hunting" today and only came up with a couple of cute teacups. I'm going to have to start a "Teacup Tuesdays" I have so many . I am super green with envy over that tray. Thanks again for hosting.

I came back to this post to check to see if my comment was here. I am really bad about clicking on "post comment" and then exiting a blog. There are several like yours that the word verification pops up after I have exited. Apparently, that's what happened last week when I visited. (I almost did it again this week). I'm sure you thought I joined the party and didn't leave a comment. Just wanted you to know what had happened. laurie
